And I know I've said it before, but if Archer is only going to bowl at 135kph then he offers very little to the team, too many loose balls that are easily dispatched.
Some captaincy decisions are baffling, Leach has just bowled 9 overs in a row so they stick him out on the boundary, he looked gubbed trying to cut one off there. He's just got Kohli to drag one on to the stumps. 98-3.
50 partnership off of 66 balls, England neither looking like taking wickets or controlling the run rate. Leach is getting some good turn when he puts 1 ball in 10 in the right place.
Burns, Lawrence, Moeen and Stone out the team for England with Crawley, Bairstow, Anderson and Archer coming in. India still going with 3 spinners, England won the toss and will bat first. Hope the umpires have a better game this time.
Don't agree with the weaker fields tbh, Nicklaus had to beat the likes of Player, Palmer, Watson, Trevino and Floyd, all multiple major winners themselves.
Some commentators predicted his back problems too, reckoning that he couldn't continue to hit the ball that hard without doing himself damage. Hope this isn't the end but doesn't sound good.
Tiger has played better golf, but Jack is the GOAT for me because of his consistency and longevity, especially at the majors. In 44 majors from 1970 to 1980 inclusive, he missed one cut. 38 top 10s in those with 30 of those in the top 5, and 10 wins. As well as his 18 major wins he had 19 second places. Astounding consistency. I should add that as a fan of Jack's it's been gutting to see him back Trump then get involved with a new course in Saudi.
Zander Fagerson's appeal was this afternoon, but the outcome seems to be taking a while. Fully expecting him to have it put back to the full 6 games rather than the 4 it was reduced to.
Where? If you are referring to me where did I say they had asked for one? They are rightly pushing for it to go ahead on Saturday. With France having won both games then it might be other nations who push for France to forfeit the game.
Which is why the only two options should be that it goes ahead this week with whatever team France can field, or the French forfeit the match and Scotland are awarded a 28-0 win.
If we hadn't let Wales score before half time then IMO Scotland go on to win comfortably, instead they gained about 70 metres through a few consecutive Scotland penalties and get a try back.
